FCRI, a state of the art flow and fluid engineering facility, first of its kind in South East Asia is dedicated to
Research & Development in Fluid Flow Measurement & Control Techniques. About 100 sponsored
Projects for various reputed organisations have been successfully completed by the Institute. The Institute
provides facilities towards technological developments to the flow product industries and serves as a
National Certifying Authority and Quality / reliability evaluation facility. The Institute also provides facility
for calibration of mechanical, thermal, electrical parameters, noise, vibration etc. apart from testing and
calibration, the Institute conducts National and International training programmes in the field of flow
control, measurement & Instrumentation, Calibration and related areas.

National and International trade depends on acceptable system of measurement standards for
efficient operation. Recognizing critical role of metrology, the International Standards Organisation
(ISO) has given it a due important place in the International Quality Standards – ISO 9000, 14000 &
18000 series by incorporating specific clauses on Calibration and Traceability. The course covers
specification of laboratory reference equipments, testing and calibration techniques including
documentation, traceability, uncertainty evaluation as required by ISO 17025/NABL 141 guidelines for
accreditation of laboratories in different areas like Mechanical, thermal, Electro-technical etc.
